Good and timely response by Brian Whitaker , in the Guardian, to George Carey's sheer ignorance. George Carey has blamed Islam itself for political and economic underdevelopment in predominantly Muslim societies. So what does he blame for the underdevelopment of the non-Muslim and even predominantly Christian, Third World societies? Modern thought tends to blame Imperialism but modern thought seems to be giving way to a grotesque resurgence of one-dimensional Eurocentric thought these days.
